      Just a quick question for the motion boys. Who do I speak to regards mine and my mates a10 orders? Just want to ask a favour regards our delivery. As it's over $1000, (by seven dollars), just found out well get hit with another 10-12% import tax. Anyway, can we make all invoicing reflect $999.99 or less Aussie money? Thanks. Sorry off topic fellas wasn't sure who to ask.

If there are any specific things that you want to know about the Warthog, shoot me a PM, or quote me, and I will do my best to get you the information you need! Without further ado:

                That is one answer I can not provide Rob!! I am not sure I am going to attempt the level of detail that Alpha has, but I will be doing some weathering.

                  So cool! Could I possibly get the dims of the ladder door panel lines? Width and height? I want to order a ladder door logo from Callie and the only thing preventing me are those dimensions.

                                How about the diameter of the main wheels? Are they 3.5" or bigger?

                                      I just printed the pic and just by shear luck, the pic came out with those dimensions within less than 1/16". So the top tube is 5/16" and then telescopes down from there in three additional sections. Hope this helps as im going by LHS to pick out rod and tubing. :Cool:

                                        I also wanted to address one other question that I had seen for you guys with the wing bags. The pitot tube fits very snugly into a plastic receiver in the wing tip. There shouldn't be any need to glue it in. Keep it removable, that way the wing will go into your bags, and I will be removing it before flight, so in the event of a wingover, it will not get broken!!

                                        That's all for now guys, see you at the field!!
